An unbelievable fall and rescue were caught on video
Wednesday night when a 33-year-old man fell onto the tracks of Boston's
"T" subway system, New England Cable News reported.

The man apparently hit his head and
was knocked unconscious. The video shows him falling onto the tracks of
the outbound Orange Line at Boston's North Station, with several people
coming to his rescue and carrying him off the tracks.

"I thought it was a fight, but then
again I seen the dude's shoes on the ground, I was over there and I had
to run, I didn't care if I died at least I did something tried to save
somebody's life instead of watching somebody die and get hit by a
train," said 16-year-old Duncan Ketter, who ran across two sets of
tracks from the inbound side to help the fallen man.

Two other good Samaritans also jumped
onto the tracks to aid the man and lifted him back onto the platform.
Duncan then ran across back to the other side, where his girlfriend was
waiting and continued onto her house.

Massachusetts Bay Transportation
Authority officials said the fallen man and his rescuers were never in
real danger since another quick-thinking rider notified a dispatcher of
the fall and all trains were stopped in the area.

Officials said the man was transported to Massachusetts General Hospital with a minor head injury.

MBTA officials said the man who fell
told them that he had two drinks after celebrating passing the medical
boards and was on his way home waiting for the train.
